Its on Sunday 31st May, we'll travel up in convoy and stop for brekkie on the way!

We usually leave about 7.30am (ish) from Bodmin so we can go straight up the a30.

Its a good show, lots of trade stands and a fantastic show'n'shine ;) well Phoebe won something last year :thumbsup:

yup well worth going to, apart from riv (which is not really a show anyway, more a meeting) its the biggest down the southwest.
And let me tell you how much im looking forward to getting to bodmin for 7.30...great! Think Ash might be with me, so even earlier if I gotta go down to Porthleven first!
:thumbsup:

i,m sure you,ll be able to tag a lift with someone, if i,m going in the escort you can ride up with me :)
you cant give up on ellie so soon, unfortunately when you first get your mini you have to overcome years of everyone elses bodges and handywork :thumbsup: its just a slow long process of replacing bits and sorting problems.

Im sure there will be a spare seat somewhere.
You cant leave it now after that spangly respray, Like T says its just troubleshooting the first few years months!

I did exactly the same thing with Oscar, after 6 months or so of having him my block blew a chunk out, was just an excuse to upgrade the engine thats how I see it!

Ive found my compression tester, im sure we can sort something out.

:thumbsup:

Danny if the engine is not scrap then it'll be fine, if that makes any sense! Theres no reason for the head gasket to blow again, unless something else is up with it. Running it super hot with no water, something like that will leave you with a banana shaped head, trust me I know! turn your phone on too!
